Important Steps You Need To Know About Choosing The Best Wedding Jewelry For Your Wedding
Wedding jewelry nowadays is not simply reduced to just the rings. It comes in an assortment of things from bracelets, earrings to necklaces and even tiaras. Brides these days are becoming increasingly smart about their choice in wedding jewelry and bridal jewelry is no longer limited to the wedding day itself, simply to be tucked away into a box and passed on to the next generation of women in your family.
Jewelry should be a constant affair and must be enjoyed from time to time rather than stacked up in some old box. This fact puts more stress on the wedding jewelry selection process, making it even more important for the bride (and groom) to be to take the time and effort to select the right pieces that will not only make the wedding itself memorable, but can be worn for days to come.
1. The Jewelry Should Reflect You NOT the Other Way Around
The jewelry pieces you wear during the wedding should not become the center of attention. After all, it is your wedding and YOU should be the center of attention as the belle of the ball.
Wear jewelry pieces that reflect your personality and individual style. That way you can be sure to end up with pieces you really like and can wear even after the wedding.
2. Neckline
Even if you really want to wear a necklace on your wedding, you first have to consider if it is appropriate or not by revisiting your wedding gown. Some gowns have necklines that do not need a necklace, while V-necklines create a perfect frame for a necklace and thus present a perfect opportunity to wear a necklace.
If your wedding gown does not support additional jewelry such as a necklace, then do not insist on it. It will take away the individual beauty of your gown and make you seem over-decorated.
Another wise move would be to consult your gown designer for his/her opinion regarding wearing a necklace or additional pieces of jewelry to your ensemble.
3. Wedding Theme
You have to consider your wedding theme, motif and set up before selecting your wedding jewelry. Casual weddings call for simple yet elegant jewelry to add to your ensemble, while formal weddings insist on larger and more elaborate pieces that makes you feel like a glamorous princess on your wedding.
Choose bridal jewelry that complement your wedding color theme.
4. Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue
This saying has become a very important wedding tradition for many years and has been said to bring good luck to the bride
Something Old – ask your mother and relatives if you can borrow the family heirloom or a piece of jewelry from them that you have always adored. This will make the accessories you are wearing more meaningful than they really are and save you the cost of spending on a new piece of jewelry. By borrowing this from your relatives, you also get to have “Something Borrowed” on your ensemble.
Something Blue – want to integrate something blue unto your wedding jewelry pieces? Add a bit of sapphire, aquamarine, apatite, iotite or blue topaz into your wedding jewelry, but first make sure that it fits your wedding theme.
